Salsify, 1kg

Fresh Salsify 1kg is 1kg of fresh salsify — the long, thin root vegetable known as the oyster plant for its subtle, briny flavour. Salsify is little used in British kitchens but hugely prized in classical French and Italian cooking. As a result, it is a genuinely unusual ingredient that rewards the adventurous cook. Furthermore, it pairs particularly well with fish and shellfish, where its subtle marine character shines. In particular, it is outstanding in a velouté with scallops or white fish.

About Fresh Salsify 1kg

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Fresh Salsify 1kg from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Salsify 1kg From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Fresh Salsify 1kg

To get the very best from Fresh Salsify 1kg:

• Peel and cut into lengths, dropping immediately into acidulated water to prevent browning — salsify oxidises quickly.
• Simmer in salted water with a little lemon juice for 15 to 20 minutes until just tender.
• Furthermore, salsify is outstanding roasted with butter and thyme or served gratin-style with cream and Gruyère.
• Additionally, use in a velouté with scallops or white fish to make the most of its subtle marine character.

Perfect Pairings

Fresh Salsify 1kg pairs beautifully with:

• Brown butter, capers and lemon — the simplest and most elegant treatment
• Scallops, white fish or crab to complement the subtle briny flavour
• A white Burgundy, Chablis or an aged Viognier alongside
• Truffle, aged Parmesan or hazelnuts as a more indulgent garnish

Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place or refrigerate. Root vegetables keep well for several days after delivery. Furthermore, most roots can be peeled in advance and stored in cold water. However, use as soon as possible for the finest flavour and texture. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Fresh Salsify 1kg brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
